Longer Axle for Calfab Swingarm... was created by beefsquasher
I just picked up a smokin' deal on a braced Calfab swingarm for my 77 KZ1000, but it did not come with an axle. The stock axle fits fine, but is about 1 inch too short.

Basically, I need an axle that looks like a KZ axle but is 13" long (20mm diameter).

Any ideas?

I had the same problem when I mounted my GS1100 swing arm. I used a bolt from a KZ1300. It is the perfect length.

The swingarm is about 12" wide at the back. A 2006 ZX10R axle seems to fit perfectly.
